It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Well, I'm of the opinion that Brompton (and every other company) should pull out of US distribution until their government stops being fascist pigs.

But I digress...

The ticket price of US$4,950...

Wildly expensive, even if it's a Brompton.

a 7-year frame warranty and 3-year e-system warranty

Kudos where kudos are due. Glad to see a bike company offer more than a year warranty on their e-bikes!

With their prices, they damn well better have a good warranty.

Wildly expensive, even if it’s a Brompton.

Now do cars and insurance, parking, gas...

oh, for sure, compared to cars it's almost a no-brainer. But compared to other bikes it really is one of the more expensive offerings
